Central Africa Regional Workshop

10.07.2013

In partnership with the national authorities of Cameroon, ECOWAS, CEMAC, and Afristat, and in collaboration with other development partners, the PARIS21 Secretariat organised a Central Africa Regional Workshop in Yaoundé, Cameroon from 9–11 December 2002. The workshop's goal was to contribute to fostering the dialogue between policymakers and statistical producers to improve the availability of statistical data to inform policymaking. The workshop comprised the six members of CEMAC (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon) plus Sao Tomé and Principe; each country delegation included up to five participants. Neighbouring countries or francophone countries which had not yet taken part in previous PARIS21 workshops were also invited to participate, but with a delegation of only two people. Those countries were Burundi, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Madagascar, and Rwanda.
